A construction worker was killed Thursday morning in a crash at a construction site in southern Dallas.
The driver of a red pickup was driving southbound when the truck hit the base of a highway sign that construction crews were trying to load onto an 18-wheeler with a crane, police said. It happened near W. Overton Road, close to U.S. Highway 67 and W. Kiest Boulevard. Lanes were closed but have since been reopened.
The metal structure hit a worker, killing him, police said.
The driver was taken into custody, police said.
No other information was available.
